That's intentional: sound doesn't travel through vacuum. On the other

For example from flashkit.com, but there are more links in the wiki

Oh, and it would be nice if you would highlight the ship after it was shot
by the other ship. E.g., a red ring around the ship or something. I needed
too long to find it in the space, especially if there was a far distance between
the two ships.

Hi list!
Can anyone point me to a tiny little network library that
I can use to add multiplayer to my pong-game? Any recommendations?
I know twisted, but it would be great if the lib is easy to use
since I'm a beginner in network programming. So twisted would
be surely an overkill in this case.
Sry, I just found the message from DROID about the
same topic:

Hi list!
I wanted to create a function which get a key and returns
true/false whether the key is currently pressed:
def is_pressed(key):
pygame.event.pump()
event = pygame.event.poll()
if event.type == KEYDOWN:
if event.key == key:
return True
return False

If you only want to check keyboard inputs you dont need to use pump
and pull. Those are, as far as I understand the description, getting
ANY running event from the event queue. So for checkin any key input

Pygame already does something like this - key.get_pressed. You can either
use it directly or you can rewrite is_pressed like this:
from pygame import key
def is_pressed(theKey):
return key.get_pressed()[theKey]
This is not

I have set the frame rate to to 60 with pygame.clock.tick(), but
